Hi,
First of all: what an absolutely great support forum, this!
Before flashing my new wl-hdd2.5 with new firmware, I would like to have a way back. The firmware that was installed by default (1.2.3.6) is nowhere to be found on the 'net.
Here (http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=5476&postcount=5) Oleg and others explain how to copy the firmware to a file; this I have done, through busybox.
This yields 2 files:
3866624 flash
262144 pmon
Will these files enable me to go back to the current state, for example through a standard firmware update? Or do i simply cat them back to where they came from? This is something that has not become clear to me.
Or am I missing something and is there a far better way to backup my current firmware for later use?
Thank you for your help!
